How firms collaborate with public research organizations : The evolution of proximity dimensions in successful innovation projects (2016, background): “Geographical proximity refers to territorial or spatial proximity (Broekel and Boschma, 2012), and it promotes knowledge transfer and innovation because it facilitates face-to-face interactions among collaborative partners (Knoben and Oerlemans, 2006).”
Structure and evolution of global cluster networks: evidence from the aerospace industry (2016, background): “Choice of the aerospace industry To investigate our propositions, we follow the lead of numerous other studies on the dynamics of industrial clusters and focus on the aerospace industry (e.g. Broekel and Boschma, 2012; Niosi and Zhegu, 2005, 2010).”
Proximity, network formation and inventive performance: in search of the proximity paradox (2014, neutral): “ Fornahl, D., Broekel, T. & Boschma, R. (2011), What drives patent performance of German biotech firms?”
The Dynamics of Technical and Business Knowledge Networks in Industrial Clusters: Embeddedness, Status, or Proximity? (2016, positive): “The empirical evidence produced so far shows that different proximities matter for the performance of firms (Bell and Zaheer 2007; Broekel and Boschma 2012) and for knowledge transfer (Almeida and Kogut 1999; Breschi and Lissoni 2009; Balland, de Vaan and Boschma 2013).”
The dynamics of interfirm networks along the industry life cycle: The case of the global video game industry, 1987–2007 (2013, background): “…(e.g. Bonaccorsi and Giuri, 2001; Orsenigo et al., 2001; Gay and Dousset, 2005) and the forces that drive network structures (Balland, 2012; Broekel and Boschma, 2012), but there is still little understanding of whether the effect of these mechanisms changes or remains stable along the…”
Proximity, networking and knowledge production in Europe: What lessons for innovation policy? (2013, background): “While proximity may help agents to connect and exchange knowledge, too much proximity on any of the dimensions might harm their innovative performance (see Broekel and Boschma, 2012, for an interesting analysis of such a paradox in the Dutch aviation).”
Towards an Evolutionary Perspective on Regional Resilience (2015, background): “FRENKEN et al. (2007) claimed that the recombinatory potential of diversified regions is enhanced by related variety, and not necessarily by variety per se.”
A Network-based view of regional growth (2014, background): “Karlsson, 2007; Lorentzen, 2008; Van Geenhuizen, 2008; Maggioni and Uberti, 2009; Broekel and Boschma, 2011; Laursen et al, 2011).”
Innovation agglomeration and urban hierarchy: evidence from Chinese cities (2021, background): “Since the 1980s, studies on urban innovation have been in full bloom, with research paradigms including the analysis of distance-cost (Broekel and Boschma 2012), the knowledge production function and the analysis of policies and culture (Greco, Grimaldi, and Cricelli 2017).”
Space and Knowledge Spillovers in European Regions (2013, positive): “However, a recent and successful wave of studies based on the notion of “related variety” (Broekel and Boschma, 2012) finds that cognitive proximity may, to a certain extent, increase the likelihood of cross-fertilization among actors (within a region).”
Universities and open innovation: the determinants of network centrality (2019, neutral): “2011; Broekel and Boschma 2012; Doran et al.”
